Description
UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Dolidze 2 (also known as UFC Fight Night 254 and UFC Vegas 104 and UFC on ESPN+ 112) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on March 15, 2025, at the UFC Apex in Enterprise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Valley, United States.
Background
A middleweight rematch between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze headlined the event. The pairing previously met at UFC 286 in March 2023, with Vettori winning the fight via unanimous decision.
A lightweight bout between Evan Elder and MarQuel Mederos was scheduled for this event. However, it was announced that Mederos was injured, so the bout was cancelled and Elder was moved to the UFC on ESPN: Hill vs. Rountree Jr. card. It was also reported that Mederos was moved to the UFC on ESPN: Moreno vs. Erceg two weeks later as a replacement fighter.
At the weigh-ins, two fighters missed weight:
Undefeated promotional newcomer Diyar Nurgozhay weighed in at 210.5 pounds, four and a half pounds over the light heavyweight non-title fight limit.
Chidi Njokuani weighed in at 172.25 pounds, one and a quarter pounds over the welterweight non-title fight limit.
Nurgozhay and Njokuani's bouts proceeded at catchweight. Nurgozhay was fined 25 percent of his individual purse which went to his opponent Brendson Ribeiro and 20 percent of Njokuani's purse went to his opponent Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos.
